The device has four video input ports (one TPS, three HDMI) and the
4x2 HDMI crosspoint routes the video signal further to the two video
output ports (HDMI). The device has also an analog audio input port
(5-pole Phoenix) and an analog audio output port (5-pole Phoenix).
The 3x3 Digital audio crosspoint routes the audio signals toward the
HDMI (audio embedding) and analog audio output ports.
MMX4x2-HT200 model has TPS input which receives Ethernet, RS-232,
The matrix has four different interfaces through user can control the
unit itself or other third-party devices: Infrared (input and output),

3. Product Overview MMX4x2 series – User's Manual 14
The MMX4x2-HT200 model is built with TPS (Twisted Pair Single) interface which are using HDBaseTTM
technology. It means the unit receives video, audio, Ethernet, RS-232, and Infrared signals via a single CATx
cable.
The TPS working mode between the transmitter and the receiver is determined by the mode set in them.
▪Auto: The TPS mode is determined automatically.
▪HDBaseT: Ideal for high resolution signals up to 4K.
▪Long reach
▪LPPF1*: Only RS-232 communication is transmitted (@ 9600 baud).
▪LPPF2*: Only RS-232 (@ 9600 baud) and Ethernet communication are transmitted.

in automatic mode. In this case, the mode transition negotiation is initiated by the host-managed device and
the auto-mode device follows through. The allowed cable lengths and resolutions are listed in the Maximum
Extension Distances section.
Audio Interface
Audio Input Modes
The device can receive embedded audio signal on the HDMI inputs and analog audio signal over the analog
audio input port.
In case of MMX4x2-HT200 model embedded audio signal can be received on the TPS input port as well.
Audio Embedding
The matrix has a built-in audio embedder function what means the audio signal which is received on the
analog audio input port is able to be embedded to the HDMI outputs.
Audio Output Modes
The MMX4x2 series matrix can transmit two types of audio:
▪Embedded (HDMI) and
▪Analog balanced stereo audio.
Audio De-embedding
The matrix has a built-in audio de-embedder which means the device is able to de-embed audio from its
HDMI outputs to its analog audio output port.
ATTENTION! De-embedding function supports 2 channel PCM audio signals only. Other audio formats
are not supported and de-embedding will not be successful.
See a life example about the audio options of the matrix on the next page.

There are three types of Autoselect as follows:
▪First detect mode: selected input port is kept connected to the
output while it has an active signal.
▪Priority detect mode: always the highest priority active input is
selected to transmit.
▪Last detect mode: always the last attached input is selected to
transmit.

local) for this purpose. E.g. the default Command Injection port number of the local RS-232 port is 8001. If
data is coming from the TPS interface which addresses to the port no. 8001, it will be transmitted to the Tx
pin of the local RS-232 port. That also works in the opposite direction of course and the method is the same
on the serial interface of the TPS port as well.
The following ways are available for controlling the devices:
▪The System controller can send TCP messages to the IP:port address of the Matrix, In this case the
control is one-way, the System controller sends commands to the HDTV. You can see the details about
TCP message sending in the Sending Message via TCP Port section.
▪The System controllerMatrix to the given port number. The
Matrix converts the incoming TCP messages to RS-232 commands and transmits over the local
RS-232 port to the HDTV. The local RS-232 port has to be set to Command Injection mode. In this case
the direction of the communication is bi-directional between the Matrix and the System controller, so
